2026 Milestone Series

Recognizing businesses that last

Building a business is one achievement. Sustaining it for 5, 10 or 25 years is another.

The Milestone Series recognizes Ontario businesses for their years in business and asks each owner one question: what is your number one piece of advice for other business owners who want to last? Each business receives its own milestone card.

What your card looks like

This is a sample. Your card carries your business name, your years in business, your photo and your advice, in your own words.
